Using KyngChaos binaries, on a new laptop I just got today, I can do this:

PYTHONPATH="/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.6/Python/site-packages/" python /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal2tiles.py

(This is on Snow Leopard; Tiger and older will need to install Python2.5
from python.org.)

MapTiler isn't really a replacement, just a graphical interface. You will
likely need to have GDAL libraries in the Path still.
